My new comedy special comes out December 26 on the Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast YouTube channel. Go subscribe to their page. Share with your friends. Prepare for The Toad’s Morale.
To anyone that’s angry with me and Rogan for drinking Bud Light, the way that you can hurt me the MOST is definitely burning my book. Nothing would hurt me more/show me who’s boss. That would just break my heart. Here’s a link:

Finished. One of the best books I've read. Ever. Especially if you're a comedian.
Get it now at or amazon if you want him to make less money.

Thanks to all the Maron heads for buying so many books. First wave is on its way to the post office. These didn’t fit in the car so I’m taking my fathers truck today. Appreciate everyone that has bought a book. Got a new pair of monarchs to celebrate.
Hey
@anthonyjeselnik
Thanks for plugging my book on your pod. Much appreciated.
We were atop a clock tower in Denver one night after TJ filmed his special and I spilled a bucket of water on your shoes and you were very cool about it.
My book is at
My debut special, Waiting For Death To Claim Us, will be available on demand everywhere September 7. If you would like to attend the premiere screenings in Denver or Fort Collins, get tickets here ASAP as they are moving VERY FAST. Love y’all.
Hey gang. I’m six reviews away from 500 on Amazon. Getting to 500 enhances my search results in the algorithm. If you have one minute and you liked the book, can you drop 5 stars on this bad boy?
Im very flattered that people thought I did Norm right in my book. I don’t know if he ever read my book. I know he had copies, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he decided to read classics, especially knowing what he knew. But I’m glad I put him in there. And I’m glad y’all liked it
Returning to Sam Tallent’s shit-hot novel of a comic-on-the-road, RUNNING THE LIGHT, for some choice (fictionalized?) tidbits of Norm MacDonald as a kind of cranky comedy Yoda.

True story: Will Smith once connected sound capturing diodes to my nipples and then played my chest like a drum kit, slapping my breasts in a funky rhythm that he then rapped over. Not one word of this is a lie and I swear to it on the life of my wife.
Update:
@bertkreischer
got the message from
@DougStanhope
and he just sent me the final audio book chapter. So everybody call off the mob and go back to bullying
@Shanemgillis
or whatever.
Congrats,

My friend and occasional opener
@Sam_Tallent
wrote a hell of a novel. I’m not a big reader but this book was too fucked up to miss.
If you want to know what its like to be a road comic go to and buy Running the Light.
Today is
@TallentSam
day on
@WTFpod
! We talk about comedy and his novel Running the Light, one of the best books about being a comic I’ve ever read! We did it in person too! Great talk!
Today
@marcmaron
told
@danagould
to read my book and that was v cool. Then I went into
@Powells
and saw that they were selling my book in the literature section. Pretty sick day all in all.
So

Too Big To Fail Press is going to start publishing writers I want to read. We will print small runs and put money into pockets that would have otherwise remained empty. We won’t publish many books, but those we do will be excellent.
Too Big To Fail Press: Oh, the humanity.
Hey: if you bought my book after

My novel is very good and I’m finally drunk enough to say it plain. I worked extremely hard to nail it that well and I’m proud of myself. Also go Broncos.

Big day.
@audible_com
gave me an original and it’s a wild one. It’s a story about drugs and violence, loyalty and squalor, but at its heart, it’s about siblings and what it means to be your brothers keeper. Go check it out. ATTABOY is live now.

's book Running The Light - had to stop so many times to read passages aloud to people that I feel like I'm doing the

version. Brilliant writing. Astounding.

@DougStanhope
me and
@TimJDillon
are on a plane in Australia and we haven't had a cigarette all day. We were wondering - since you’re the official historian of smokers rights - what you would do in this situation?
I don’t want to sound like a monster, but I feel like I’m successful enough in show business that I know someone who can get me a screener of Jackass 4.

took a break from shaming the length of my shorts to record a couple podcasts and this one is a doozy. If you’re a fan of road stories, listen to this, and then go buy my book at
